I hate when people say they want to know what I think but then when I do, when I open up my thoughts and feelings to them, I get responses like, you don't need to explain yourself or you don't need to say all that, it's just a yes or no question. Why do they feel the need to box me into a black and white world if that's not how I see it or think? So was it just a lie when they said they wanted to understand me? Why argue me into a corner when they don't like my answer? Why even ask a question in the first place if you only want a specific response? It makes the other person feel like you don't even care what they think and you're just talking for your own purposes.
Seriously, why give someone so much grief over how they choose to respond? Unless they're on trial under oath, they don't need to be explicit, complicit, or anything of the sort.
And yet I can't just change. Why should I have to? I can't trust that my answer is good enough. I can't answer without wondering if it's the right one.
